Fast Marina Magazine

Yup- I wasn't sure if they were banded Spitfire or standard GT6 on your Jubilee Can't remember the numbers but the Spitfire ones are very skinny, Dolomite (& Marina) are somewhere in between (different pattern of wheel of course) & GT6 is wider but the same centres as a Spitfire.

I'd want to go a bit wider still, and since my Spitfire rims don't owe me anything there's probably not much difference financially between getting them banded & buying a set of GT6 ones

That was a nice Jubilee with a full sun roof as well.
I like the way you added vinyl or painted the B posts and blacked out the roof under the door frames. My old Jubilee had vinyl on the B posts but I left my current one as is.

Hi Paul,

Yea I had the webasto fitted, at great expense at the time I seem to remember, the B posts were covered with a stainless finisher painted black off the mk3, which I later stripped and polished to match the door frames, I an addict of shiny bits I'm afraid!

I have some of those in the loft polished up

The rear rubber was made from a mk3 Escort front screen rubber as previously advised by other members (thanks for that!),

It was reduced top and bottom after careful measurement of the glass allowing for a little shrinkage then re glued to seal,

The original stainless finisher was then put in the rubber around the glass on the bench before fitting to the coupe, Its a slow job getting it all in place without disturbing the trim whist loading the whole set back in the frame but worth it to keep the trim original,



It sits in recess very well, but I've noticed the corner trims are a little proud but have been told by the fitter it will shrink a little and may level out! but the whole effect is pleasing I think anyhow,

Just waiting for a new windscreen, its been specially made as they are not on the shelf anymore, when this arrives I've a new rubber to fit and replace the stainless trim again,

Future work inc, replace steering wheel, replace wheels with wider (later) wheels without trim rings, may consider a repaint as the paint is a little dull in places, There are a few non standard items under the bonnet inc chrome air cleaners and the wrong rocker cover so these jobs will be done also,

Thanks for your comments, pleased you like it,

Paul I will give out his name etc (trimmer) when I've ok'd it with him!! nice bloke

Cheers Andy

Was it re-trimmed in vinyl or leather? Looks loverly, either way.

Is that a standard rear parcel shelf, or has it been custom made?

And time for a change to the title - nothing to be sorry about now.
